Nice tour Ben, plants are mostly looking great. I also have 2 black surinam cherries grown from seed and hope they will come almost true to the parent 🤞
Great update. Looking forward to a tasting of the pitangatuba in the future that’s something I’m trying to grow. How beautiful is star apple leaves. Great idea with the natural shade. I’m jealous of your achacha.
I have about a 4-year-old peanut butter fruit tree myself, and it set some fruit the first year and since then I haven't gotten one fruit to last all the way until ripe. Could be something with the microclimate or fertilizing, but the tree itself looks pretty healthy although it doesn't grow very much. Definitely more of a novelty thing rather than a food producer, in my experience.
Ben you toss the leaves in some oil when you are making a curry. I think you do this B4 you add the onions and other curry spices. Putting the leaves in the heated oil infuses the curry flavour into it. You could use ghee instead of oil.
My Peanut Butter seedlings are doing great. Already reaching 2 meters with plenty of flowers but no fruit set from what I can see. Planted in Mar 2023. You can use curry leaves in any... Curry. Or chuck a few in roasting things like potatoes. Why not put banana stems (except corm) as mulch. Tropicals specially lychees love all this organic material. Good luck with the monkey jack 😊
